Applirotlon fllnil December 13, W81. {No model) To all whom it: may concern:

Be it lrnown that I, ULIVER L. F. BROWNE, Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Processes oi'nnil Apiin r rains for hi'riniiii'nctnring Salt, of which the i'ollowing, talicn in connection with the ncconil pnnying drawing, is it full, clear, and exact l description. I The nature of this invention consists in ill improved method and moons of purillyingnnil l eraapornting hat mil brine in the manufacture l of salt, uii hereinafter fully crcplnineil, ninl spccifi-nlly set forth in the claims. I The annexed drawing roprcsents o siileclcl r'ntiou of n StillWftiGiC-GVHPOTfitlfig uppzirntus The initial or primary heating; agent is api plied to the grniucr D, and consists of asteani' generator, E, from whence is extended av steaml pipc,o,u'hioh passes D, zis shown, or under the form of u steen'i-ji'ickct, so as toeff'eetually heat the contents of suidgrniner. A pipe, 9, extended from the end of the aforesaid steampipe or steam-jacket book to the writer-space of the boileror stcanrgcnerntor E n-nil provided with it suitable check-valve or injector, r, returns the water of condensation to said steam-generator.

The rnporcinitted from the brine in process ot'eruporution and grinning in the grniuer D l8--lli illZGLl as u secondaryhcntingagent by the cmploymcn t ofthe following instrumcntalities, viz: 0v tho grniner'l) is placed at removahio cover, F, adopted to gather the mpornrising from the'grnincr, and from said cover is extended at Yll,[)OI-(lll'Cl, I), which passes either through the saturatingtank B or envelopes the bottom and sides thcroof, so as to heal, the brine to be saturated.

If it is found that the heat is notcntirely ab- SOI'bQtlflOlll the vapor-duct h, the remaining heat may be further l'fl[)()l'-iltl(2l', through the tank A for the purpose of healing the crude brine before it enters the saturating-tank B. i

To the end of the vapor-duct b is connected pipe, 0, which communicates with the induc-' tion-port of a pump or suction-fan, G, which assists the passage of the vapor through the (lnct h. Clhcilischnrge of the suction-inn may be connected with the lire-hex of the steamg'cnerntor E by the pipe (I, thereby making said fun serve the :nltlitionnl function or a, blower.

The object of this invention is to apply the primnr i'nnil most intcnsc heat to the linul, evunorntirig-vessel, which receives the purified I brine and reiluocs the some to suit, and to our 1 ploy the vnpor gcncrntcil in tho linnl cvnpo- J rntingwcssei tho healing agent for those vessels in which the brine is brought to snturation anti purified preparatory to its final ro- (luction to salt, thereby greatly cconoinizing in heat, null obviating to n grcn-t extent the loss of heat nntl retardation oi the evaporating proinciilonl; tnths adhesion of the plaster and othor incrui-ning impurities oi" the brine to the snri'z-iccs oi the vapor or strain ducts-which l pnss through the several rcsscls or thinks.

The proccssof iminul'acluring' suit by the befoir-(lcscrihcil.nppurntus is as follows, to wit:

The crude brine-is admitted to the tank A, in which it in partially healed, and thence introduced into the tank B. In the latter the brine is further heated to such n temperature and brought to that clcgrce of saturation at which oxide oi'iron, carbonate of lime, and the nsnni sulphates are PYOCll'lllt'LlCd. In eusethe "the stitumtinl urine of the tool; I is conveyed by suithhh: conduit or pipn In the not: nllorrnil to precipitate its impurities, the p ritictl hi ine heingtlruwn from this tank (1 to n nor-ii crnpnrntor or wherein tho no'i ss of the crnporntion of the hrino is oonipletcil.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name and affixed my seal, in the presence of two attesting witnesses, at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State ot'New :5 York, this 9th day of December, 1881.
